Storms in California...

How are you California folks holding up? We've talked to a few of our people in LA who are already evacuating due to all of the fucked up weather that you guys aren't quite prepared for...
How you guys doing?
How you guys doing?
Rane, you lazy bastard, you can shut the hell up.

Also, does anyone live in Torrance or nearby? Because I have serious sympathy.
But seriously, I grew up around tornados. It was a crapshoot if they ever hit anything worth a damn besides fucking up crops. I can't really imagine what would happen to a bunch of people who a) aren't accustomed to tornados and b) are packed together so tightly per square mile that sardines make fun of them.
The world is ending!!
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
It was moderately annoying.
Let's see how today goes!
it means the sky god is crying

We're suppose to get over an inch here today. It's really gonna have to pick it up to make half of that.
Delta once again ran up one of their phat, round, thick ass vessels in da sky again.
aren't most californians afraid of and confused by snow?
the power's gone out twice now, though thankfully today it wasn't out as long (probably because the outage affected more than just a few houses this time)
also it was windy as hell this morning
We're so shocked we enjoy ourselves.
this made water come out of my mouth and nose.
Last night we spent at least half an hour stuck in traffic just trying to get to the main road to figure that out, and had to spend another 15 minutes finding another way in
snow in the desert... so weird
That seems crazy. Like people that haven't seen an ocean.
Anyway, things aren't bad here in Santa Monica/West LA compared to most of the rest of the city. Of course, it's crazy that Long Beach and Orange County to the south had to go through a tornado warning yesterday. The first two storms were funny because they calmed down at mid-afternoon. In fact, we had to go to downtown yesterday to watch a hockey game and were totally surprised to see that there was really light traffic at rush hour because of the rain (we had expected the trip to take 3 times as long.) Let's see if this one can last a whole day.

I'm in Torrance. Why the sympathy? Yeah it's raining and people are idiots, but all in all, it's not really that bad.
driving around San Diego is a freaking nightmare right now because Californians don't know how to deal with rain.
no kind granny, you don't have to drive 2 miles per hours because the road is slightly moist. and no, douchebag-in-a-BMW, you don't have to drive 100 miles per hour and cut off every other driver for that same reason.
back in the northeast we'd call this a Wednesday! and i'm not saying that just because it's actually Wednesday!

Well if you live in a fire zone it's a good thing right
I heard that Stanford was having power issues too. I haven't lost power once, though.
Also, coming from an area of the country that actually has weather on a routine basis, I have to say I'm not impressed by all this. Though apparently there's actually a tornado warning for southern Santa Clara County, which is the first one I've seen out here. Haven't seen anything that says there's actually a tornado on the ground, though.
Only if the fire is actually, you know, there at the time
heh, douche in a bmw was probably my boss or coworker
are you being sassy, boy?
rain is serious. a serious thing.
Well how am I to know what you guys do down there
i've been in a lot of stormy places and never had to deal with mudslides
I guess one tree fell on a trailer and killed a lady. That kind of stuff depresses me. People joke about Californians freaking out by the rain, but the little amount that we actually get it really out to cause some damage. My voice teacher had to cancel all of her lessons while they pack stuff up in case of mudslides. Her house was destroyed by them a few years ago, and any time it even drizzles now she is on edge.
I'm supposed to do an audition in North Hollywood tomorrow and it is actually a little scary thinking that I have to drive through some bad shit to get up there.
